The 2018 GMBC clothing has the same colors and graphics design as the 2017 clothing.

There are usually two clothing orders per year; one in March and the second in May. The club keeps an inventory of clothing from 2018 and prior years for purchase. Please call John Witmer at 802-864-5897 or e-mail if you have questions.

The second and last clothing order for 2018 is due on May 21! Please order direct from Voler using this link. Delivery is expected on about July 6. Clothing from prior years may be ordered from our inventory (see below).

Please use the GMBC Inventory Order Form to order clothes from our inventory. The instructions are at the top of the form. Our clothing is made by Voler. Note on sizing: Pre 2012 vests, jackets, and arm warmers are in men’s sizes only. Women’s sizes run about one size smaller than men. For example, a women’s size medium is a men’s small. Please consult Voler’s sizing chart for help. Most people think their chart is accurate. Short sleeve jerseys are sized to fit fairly snug.

Looking for a weekly training ride to get the blood pumping? The GMBC Tuesday evening training rides travel through Richmond, Hinesburg, Huntington and Williston mostly on roads with light to mild traffic.

Is this training ride for me? Tuesday’s ride is for racers and/or hammer-heads. If you can maintain 18+ mph for 1.5+ hours, you’ll be fine. There will be areas of pace-line at 25+ mph on flats and regrouping points. Consider the Wednesday night ride if this ride is not to your liking.

Start times vary during the year (because of the sunset)!! Riding with front and rear lights is recommended all season.

Early season (through April): on the road at 5:30 PMor earlier

Prime season (May through August): on the road at 6:00 PM

Late season (September until ??): on the road at 5:30 PM or earlier

Bad weather (current or imminent): most likely cancels ride

Disclaimer: Ride at your own risk. GMBC provides guidance on safe group riding and sharing the road, but assumes no liability. It is your responsibility to know and adhere to Vermont laws.

GMBC is volunteer-based and sometimes volunteers cannot make the ride. This may lead to groups not being formed and the lack of regrouping points on the ride. We encourage you to talk before the ride, form groups, talk about safety and have a great ride!

Where to Start, Park, and Ride

Parking/Start – In the field below the Old Round Church in Richmond (see map). Do not park on the paved road next to the Round Church

Rides vary. Links to some routes are listed below but become familiar with the roads beforehand in case of separation from the group. If you decide to drop out or change your route, let someone know beforehand.

Saturday Training Rides

The GMBC Saturday (VP) rides are longer rides compared to the evening training rides. Routes vary each week and often have significant climbs. Groups (12 or fewer) form based on estimated average speed. The emphasis is on sharing the road and riding responsibly while getting a good workout on the bike. Specifics for each ride (e.g. start time, weather, parking) are announced through the GMBC email list.

Are these rides for me? These rides are recommended for people with some experience riding in a group. Serious effort (within each individual’s ability) is expected, but these rides are for anyone who likes a good workout and is able to maintain at least a 15 mph average, i.e. non-racers welcome! The riders regroup at a few key points and usually try to avoid leaving anyone behind. If you want a faster, strictly racer/hammerhead ride, consider the Tuesday Evening Training Ride. Another alternative for both fast riders who want a break from climbing App Gap, as well as riders who prefer a more moderate pace and distance are the Touring Rides (usually on Sundays). Touring rides typically become longer and have more climbing as the season progresses.

Start times vary during the year. Riding with front and rear lights is recommended all season.
